Focus group interviews with seniors.
The focus group interview technique provides in-depth information on a specific topic in a group discussion setting and can be effectively used with older adults. Successful focus group interviews include careful question preparation and participant recruitment as well as securing a capable moderator and comfortable setting. The technique is used as a preliminary research step to elicit feelings, attitudes and perceptions about a topic. However, results should not be generalized without further quantitative research.
